The October winds are signing among

Admiral Aube's New Gunboat.

Admiral Aube, Of the French navy,
seems to be wide awake and lively old
salt. His new gunboat has just been
tried and found worthy, her speed being
over nineteen miles an hour. He proposes
to build great feet Of these boats, each
carrying a single gun of the most power
full description. Half dozen of such
boats, it is now believed, would be more
effective in a naval engagement than one
large iron clad ship. a first class man-of
war of the modern type would, it is
thought, be as powerless against fleet Of
such lively little gunboats as bull
against a swarm of hornets. The Ger
mans are also turning their attention to
smart gunboats of pretty much the same
kind, and possibly in the near future COM

TIE WOOD THRUSH.

What is Il you are whispering solemn woods:
What hide and hint We, slopes of sombre green,
Whose dark reflections blur the crimson sheen
OF the lakes mirror, whereon sunset broods,
Trance-lille and tender? Speeches., conscious
moods
Are yours, ye purple mountain shapes, that
lean
Out of days dying glory. What may mean
This stiffness, through whose veil no thought
intrudes
With earth-shol feet? Can any voice unfold
The tremulous secret of an hour like this.
SO burdened with unutterabe bliss?
Oh, hush. on, hear the soul of twilight sing!
One poet knows this mystery. Everything
The landscape dreamed Of has the wood thrush
told!

How ue Izept his Trowsers Creased.

There is dude in the department Of

tie admiration and envy Of his fellows,
and they long sought in vain TO discover
how he kept them so. It WaS a secret he
refused under any circumstances TO dis
close, and there was belief IN the de-
partnent that lie had a tailor come in
every morning and DO them up. But the
mystery was discovered when he went or
on his vacation not long ago. lie had
been away for a few days when one OF
his chums received a telegram from him
reading as follows:
Please send me by express al once Il
pair Of trowsers, you will find under the
mattress on my bed. >
The friend attended to the errand, and
his compensation was the knowledge of
the process by which the dude kept his
pants creased. Now no clerk in the state
department goes to bed without first plac-
ing his brooches under the mattress and
the result is marked improvement in

ED. DEMOCRAT:
If you please, allow me space for
few lines, IN egpose of an article
in your issue of Goth of JAM, by one
Williams of Carbon Hill, in regard
to his assessment of my property in
Ward Tp., of your county. There
is not a line or a word of his state
ment true. I had 291 bu. so lbs. ear
corn by actual measurement and
weight. He listed corn at 80 and
35 cents per bushel, but he estimat-
ed the above corn at 500 bu. at 35c.
per bu. and put it down on the list
at $4,000 instead of $4,000, its
true value, and if you consider the
property listed at it's value the
error would be about sos. on the
corn alone. But this assessor on
complaint, excuses himself by say
ing that he got the false quantity
from the occupants of the premises
which they at once denounced as q
falsehood, and showed that they
requested him to forward blank
to me at Lancaster, which he de-
clined to do,
Then the next step of this assess
or was to pretend to estimate the
timber on the yard, as my property
about 30736 feet of which was the
property of these called syndicate
consisting of three large piles of
bank rails, which had been meas
ured accepted and paid for by said
Company, and little difference does
it make what some misinformed
or reckless agent says. But this
"little" office holder, snarting un-
der the exposure of his base con-

EaKins were DrOtherS-1n-laW, nav
ing married sisters O short time
ago, and 1t seems that they had
had a difficulty several days ago
and were looking for each other,
when they happened to meet in
the saloon. Liston is well known
in the southern part of this county,
and is brother of Mrs. Il. ID.
Dodge, of Macarthur. For years
past he has been afflicted with "St.
Vitus Dance" a disease which has
no doubt seriously affected his
nervous system, and perhaps his
mind.
A gentleman of this place who
was at Ironton last week, says that
Eakins in drunken spree, drove
his wife from home, and she took
refuge with her sister, Mrs. Liston |;
and that Liston, in harboring and
protecting her got the i'll will of
Eakins. The latter had made
threats against Liston, and was ad-
vancing upon him in a menacing
manner, with a knife in his hand,
at the time the shooting occurred.
The circumstances as detailed by
our inform ant lead us to believe
that it is a case of self-defcnse.

Banner.
The lake coal trade will begin
unusually early this spring.
A friend of ours at Murray City
writes that work at the mine there
is booming, the average output be-
ing about 40 cars per day. Several
Shawnee boys are employed there.
Several citizens of Somerset are
ready to take stock in q company
organized to bore for oil. There is
no doubt but that they would get
along we'll at any rate.
Quite an excitement has been
created at Murray City by the find
ing of the dead body of a young
baby in the outskirts of town, hid
den in powder keg. The arms
and legs had been devoured by
either dogs or swine. No arrests
have been made.
The Tribune's statement that
"coal is being mined in Perry Co.,
at the rate of about one acre per
day" is putting it rather high.
With all the mines running but
two acres is mined per day in the
entire Hooking region. Atpresent
not over half that amount is being
mined.
Several of our exchanges have
published articles to the effect that
the B. & o. Company made all it's
employees sign temperance pledge
when they received their pay last
month. This is a mistake. None
of the employees on this division
were asked to sign such a pledge,
and we understand that this was
the case on all divisions.

duct, fees for protection to- one
statesman by the name, ,of "Pshaw"
said to be of loud and sanity repu-
tation from his ancestors down.
why Pshaw allows himself to be
used in the perpetration Of fraud or
wrong on me. He in the spring of
1884 listed many thousand feet of
lumber on the same yard owned
by the Syndicate, against me, al d
the error was exposed and how
many little lies the General Mana
ger told him makes no difference.
The Syndicate owned not less than
10000 feet of bank rails On said
yard, all accepted measured and
paid for, long before they were re-
moved. In the spring 's5 the Co.
had probably $4,000 feet on said
yard, and if it did or could escape
taxation, by lie to the assessor
one that wanted to manufacture
popularity, by making non.resi-
dents pay most tax, might con-
slider it simply n free turn, in min
parlance, but the above is not the
worst. I well knew the law and
limit of time of return by the as
SCISSOR, so on Thursday May IL, 1
listed all my personal property in
Ward Tp., verified the same and
forwared it to the assessor. 1t
reached his post-oflice, within 1 of
a mile of his residence, the same
day and he did not make his re-
turn until the 18th, but having fix
ed up the Infamous assessment, as
above named, whether in ignor-
ance or malice, he refused and in
utter disregard of his duty, neglect
ed to attach it and make it part
of his return, but on the contrary
put in his false list against me and
marked me "absent." He says he
also returned the verified list along
with similar list by w. B. Brooks
and told the auditor to use the one
he pleased. How,this is, no doubt
Capt. Bowen can explain. Furth-
er, on request, this Assessor has re-
fused to state the circumstances
under which he perpetrated these
wrongs, saying, that it would look
as though he was unfit for the Off
&C, and had no sense. But never
theless he writes false article and
has it published. So it is plain
that ignorance and malice are his
chief elements. A man that refls-
es to aid in rectifying wrong
which he has been instrumental in
producing, is without honor. Think
of the "ideaws He in effect says: /
will list against you as much of the
property of others as 1 choose and
if you don't like it, go to the Com
missioners and get rid of it, if you
can. The amount involved is not
great, but that the County of Hook
ing desires to gain by such frauds
against non-residents, 1 cannot be-
lieve. Why the Auditor did use
the verified return 1 left with him
1 am not advised. Itwas the law
full return and the Board of Equali-
zation, desired to examine, they
could do so, giving me Il chance to
be heard. But on reflection we
ought to feel gratifed that the corn
and lumber We're spared. That Mr..
Williams has the qualifications in
high degree, to run for Office, can
not be disputed. The last man de-
feated in his township, a descend
ent of General Jackson says he was
beaten by the meanest man in the
world. IS. A. KIsTLER.
